He's a dirty old man, a grubby sexual predator, a racist, a white supremacist, and an anti-gay bigot.He steals from the poor to give to the rich. He's trying to leave more than 20 million Americans without any health coverage, and leading his country to war.The only time he goes down on his knees is ...

Well I can't say I'm surprised that Jason Kenney has turned down an invitation to attend Calgary's Pride parade. Even though the invitation came from an Albertan with way more fans than he does. Not when Kenney has been an anti-gay bigot for as long as I remember.Read more »

Ever since his grotesque campaign to attack Justin Trudeau by trash talking Canada blew up in his face, Andrew Scheer has been desperately trying to repair his image. Gone with the wind, or dropped like a hot potato, is all that treasonous talk that could have stirred up the maniac Donald Trump, and cost Canada thousands ...

The Toronto Pride parade is always an amazing spectacle of joy and defiance, and yesterday's was no exception.And although the controversial Black Lives Matter-Toronto group did its best to grab the headlines.The star of the show was once again Justin Trudeau.Read more »

As you know, I've been trying to warn people that Andrew Scheer is not the nice guy he pretends to be.Warn them that his perma smile conceals the frightening depth of his religious fanaticism, as well as a truly ugly mean streak.And that far from being a howdy doody farm boy, Scheer is a ruthless ...

It's Christmas Day in Canada, and now that the shopping frenzy is over, and with snow on the ground in the place where I live, the country has never seemed so peaceful and so beautiful.But this year even those colourful lights can't blot out the darkness threatening to envelop us.The darkness of those who would appeal ...

Well he may look like the man from Glad. But Mike Pence, Donald Trump's choice for vice president, is actually the man from God.He defines himself as “a Christian, a conservative, and a Republican, in that order.” And he's really bad news for women and gay people. Read more »

I've written quite a few posts recently about Jason Kenney, and his plan to unite the right in Alberta.By destroying the Progressive Conservative party he wants to lead.And since that's crazy enough, or Kenney enough, and I think that the MSM has given that ghastly Con far too much free publicity.I wasn't planning to write another ...

It has been quite some time since I felt a need to address something that Calgary’s Bishop Fred Henry has written. Then I happened to wander past the Calgary Diocese website and read his latest “pastoral letter” (or whatever his columns on the website are officially known as). The title is benign enough: “Heal the Wounds, ...

I've always assumed Stephen Harper's grotesque anti-niqab crusade was primarily designed to win him the support of some Quebecers.Like these two clowns who turned up to vote yesterday with their faces covered. And of course to pleasure his rabid base in rural Alberta, for whom the only good Muslim is a dead one.But Tasha Kheirridin ...

A wonderful thing may be about to happen in Ireland in just a few days.Millions of people are preparing to take on the power of the Catholic Church, and some of the nastiest bigots you can imagine.And make that country the first in the world to vote to approve same-sex marriage. Read more »

You had to see it to believe it. Stephen Harper welcoming the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Canada.Then travelling on the plane with him to a massive rally in Toronto. Even though Modi is a Hindu extremist, and has been accused of enabling mass murder. Read more »

I did have such high hopes for him. He did seem to be the best Pope I have ever seen.He did say some great things about capitalism and climate change. But it turns out Pope Francis is not as good as I thought. Just more of the same.Or just another old reactionary.Read more »

You might think that after all that happened at the CBC this year, Rex Murphy might know when to press the mute button.You might think that with all those horrible stories about violence against women, that nasty Con dwarf might exhibit a smidgen of human decency.But no, he'd rather use his last National Post column of ...

The other day I wrote about how appalled I was to see that Stephen Harper, and his ghastly stooge Peter MacKay, had appointed an anti-gay judge. A law professor named an Ontario judge this week wrote two years ago for a conservative, U.S.-based institute that the legalization of same-sex marriage in Canada has harmed religious freedom ...

Well I guess Stephen Harper wasn't kidding. If the courts wouldn't kneel before him he would debase them into submission. Not by simply soiling himself. But by soiling the entire justice system as only he could.By among other foul things appointing an Ontario judge who clearly doesn't believe in the equality of gay Canadians. Read more ...

If there is one thing that I find infuriating, it is when grown men like Bishop Henry lie. In today’s Calgary Herald, there is a copy of a pastoral letter that Bishop Henry has had distributed through the churches of his diocese. In it, we find the following little gem: The mandating of Gay Straight ...

There is little doubt that the Prentice government is getting its ass handed to it on the editorial pages of newspapers across Canada with respect to its hastily written Bill 10 counter response to Liberal MLA Laurie Blakeman’s Bill 202. After looking at Bill 10 for a little while, I have come to the conclusion ...

I see that voters in the riding of Calgary Signal Hill will be deciding the fate today of the Con loon Rob Anders.And that his opponent believes that this time he can be beaten.Ron Liepert says it's a myth that controversial Calgary MP Rob Anders is somehow untouchable after a 17-year run in federal politics. ...

It seems only right that the day Spring finally arrived, was also the day that Fred Phelps finally departed.Fred Phelps — the founding pastor of a Kansas church known for its virulently anti-gay protests at public events, including military funerals — has died, the church said Thursday.And I must admit that my first reaction was ...

They had to fight so hard for the right to set up Gay-Straight Alliance clubs in their schools. They had to battle ignorance and religious bigotry.They were called Nazis, forbidden by their school boards and their principals to use the word gay, or even draw the rainbow colours. But they never gave up, They just baked ...

I think I can safely say that in the icy heart of this Harperland winter, just about the last thing I want to think about, talk about, or write about is the Quebec's Secular Charter.I've written about it before, and no doubt I'll write about it again. But not tonight.Tonight I'll just say I think it's ...

After not lifting a finger for eight years to fight bullying, even though it was killing children all over the country, the Harper Cons have finally decided to something about Canada’s bully problem. Justice Minister Peter MacKay says the federal government will use television and online advertising to raise awareness about cyberbullying and the possible legal consequences ...
